    Who's starting to get geared up for ice fishing?!

    F that...best time of year to fish is right now thru mid November. Hog walleyes, salmon, big pike, and monster trout.

    Darling: Boat on shore

    Throttle or steering malfunction is usually the culprit in those scenarios.

    1/10 the price of power pro, same product, maybe better.

    Why is it, if it's cheaper it's a knock off or imitation. Some of these lines have been around as long or longer than PP. But somehow if it's used by some pros, over advertised, and stamped made in america, youre happy to pay ten times more for it and then label everything else a cheap knock...

    1/10 the price of power pro, same product, maybe better.

    From what I read on other forums, those dyneema lines are all made in the same foreign factory. - - - Updated - - - Knot strength is gonna be hard to tell for me because I run mono or fluro leaders that are a pound test or so less than my main line. I'll abuse the piss out of it in Florida...

    1/10 the price of power pro, same product, maybe better.

    Odor or color doesn't bother me since I always use fluro or mono leaders. But so far I haven't noticed any odor. Today was my first day with it on a jigging rod. I used the 15lb fluorescent orange Hercules braid. Got a few walleyes, one was 8-9lbs, maybe 6 carp, a few cats, 4-5 boulders, and...

    I think I like the Hercules better so far, but still too early to tell.

    1/10 the price of power pro, same product, maybe better.

    I've recently tried these off brand lines, and as far as I can tell, they're as good, if not better than the name brand stuff for 1/10 the price. It's available in waaaay more options as far as color, length, and lb test. An 1100 yard spool runs about 20 bucks w/free shipping on eBay or...

    Tailrace Salmon

    I suspect they're ones that come thru the dam since there's not very many in there and they're all runts.

    ND ANS threat

    So many species of fish eggs, insect larva, and algae, spores, etc get stuck in waterfowl feathers, but tiny zebra mussel larva can't?

    ND ANS threat

    It's a mile by mile process, one river, lake, and slough, at a time. A new pothole is populated with minnows and perch within a year from waterfowl transporting eggs in their feathers.

    ND ANS threat

    I think we should do all we can...but there's no way to stop natural hitch hikers, carried by waterfowl, turtles, waterbugs, and other semi aquatic critters that travel from one body of water to another on a daily basis.

    How deep for big walleye on Sak?

    Big walleye are weird, you might get one in 2 feet, and another in 40 feet. There's been zero rhyme or reason to big walleyes for me as far as depth is concerned.

    Weed~

    I agree, legalize it, but God damn can we please stop acting like it's some kind of cure for everything, like dude man, like just smoke it dude and like the cancer just goes away dude like it just cures aids dude, like if all those people in third world countries had weed there'd be no malaria...

    Alligator in the Yellowstone south of williston

    Gators are cheap, and anyone can buy one for a pet. They grow fast and get dumped in rivers and lakes almost as often as unwanted cats n dogs get dumped in the country. They'd never last a winter here, they can tolerate short cold periods (upper 20s max) but certainly not a ND winter.

    I'm addicted to Power Pro

    As with any braid, abraision is the enemy. I had this problem with 30, 50, and 100lb test. Turns out, while I was letting my bait sit on bottom, the current was rubbing my line in the sand, or tops of the sand bars, which would wear and weaken the line causing it to break in odd random spots...

    I'm addicted to Power Pro

    Go on eBay, get Kastking braid. 1100 yards for 20 bucks. Exact same line as power pro, available in lots of colors and any lb test. Just got some a couple weeks ago, it's the cats ass. - - - Updated - - - For big sharks from shore. Trying to land one over a thousand pounds, go back to...

    jigging raps

    I call em snaggin raps....the hard fast dropping into the bottom action makes Walters zoom over n try to pin them down, and on the next rip, you snag em in the pecs, making a 14" fish feel like it's 24". Do not use where carp, buffalo, Cisco, or paddlefish are abundant unless you're really...

    Fishing/Tent Camping on Sakakawea

    The primitive campground for tents is usually not too crowded, sometimes there's hardly anyone there. With the walleye bite as hot as it is right now, I'd avoid the parshall van hook area if you're trying to stay away from the crowds.

    Fishing/Tent Camping on Sakakawea

    Yeah, water is higher, but currents not much faster down there. Wingwall area is a bit sketchy
